Nikon D7000 - DO NOT BUY

Sep 22, 2014 10:14PM PDT

I purchased this camera 2.5 years ago when the autofocus and light meter reading stopped working over night. I sent the camera to Nikon Australia to look into. They came back with repair cost of $500 which is almost 30% of its initial price I paid in 2011. This is unbelievable and Nikon seems only to care about the fact that it is out of warranty. However this should not happen to a quality procuts in first place and Nikon stated that they do not know why this has happened. When I spent $1500 for a camera I did not expect to invest another $500 for repair within 3 years. I am very disappointed about the Nikon D7000 and how Nikon handled this issue.

D7000- Do buy! ;)

I know this is a few months old but I couldn't help myself replying as didn't want people to potentially see this and be put off buying one 2nd hand! The D7000 is a great camera! Well I suppose, it's been replaced by the even better D7100 now. All cameras have the potential to develop faults, especially if dropped, etc. (not saying you necessarily did). I used the D7000 for a few years and never had any problems.

Plus any out-of-warranty repairs on any product tend to be a bit costly!
